[@innerjon]

Love the outtakes at the end 😀

[@Sisteryoda1440]

I didn’t see those the first time! 😂

[@GrowingInTheGarden]

Ha! Thanks.

[@cherylskornik1512]

Planting tomatoes and bell peppers. Just started hardening off geraniums I grew from seed. Boy do they need to get out of the seed trays. Thank you for all your knowledge and help

[@davidgail324]

I have my bed ready to plant radishes, snow peas, carrots, broccoli, rutabaga, lettuce, spinach, cucumbers are getting 1st true leaf, then garlic in Oct

[@joydavis4087]

NC Zone 8A here. Clay rocky soil. Such great info in this video. TY Angela. It definitely applies. We had triple digits yesterday. Crazy hot.

[@ericwantsbbd]

That tomato tip is good. Gonna try that and thank you for sharing brilliant tips

[@janicemattos6326]

Thank you Angela, Nor Cal 8b 9A, planted lots of these things today. Just used seeds that I had on hand, some may bolt as it will be warm for a while here. But if they bolt , it’s chicken food!

[@melindaroth5796]

Great information and teaching. Thank you Angela 😊❤

[@jennifervalenti8032]

Always love your videos!!

[@barbmills2756]

I’m getting ready for my veggies

[@B-Th-Change]

My I’itoi onions are sprouting and it’s so exciting!!! Would have not learned about these without Angela’s channel

[@GrowingInTheGarden]

Yay!

[@-shnae4God.family]

Well done!! Easy for this seedling family to start a garden!!

[@Sean-o5z]

Your videos are really informative and very helpful. Thanks!

[@TeaTimeWithTee-dg9iq]

I feel ready ❤ I’m planting cabbage ❤

[@margaritavivero4776]

Oh my goodness! Such an informative video! I just wish it was focused for central Texas. I know I’ll be able to used most of this great video. Thanks Angela 🥰

[@chavezcampbell-wy2je]

Good morning i will be sewing tomato seeds september

[@prismatica8416]

I have a VERY small containor garden at my work. I recently up potted my orange tree and am thinking about planting carrots and spinach around the border. Beyond that, ive got a pepper plant, next to my behemoth basil that made this summer look ezpz with how wild it went, and a whole bunch of lavendar, rosemary, zinnia's, and zincas in the big pot next to it. My crew universally wants a bunch of peppers so im gonna add 3 into this big pot i have and hopefully get a dozen or two peppers. Beyond all that, depending on my budget, i would love to add strawberries.

[@Dsrtgardener]

I started all my brassicas last week, tomatoes, peppers and onions last month. I have more zinnias, cosmos and 4 o’clocks hardening off to plant this weekend. I’m trying to focus on flowers to plant this fall for spring. I started echinacea, aster, pincushion, primrose, snapdragon, dahlia, Gazania, African daisy, and alyssum. I’m in the west valley. When is the best time to start cardinal climbers from seed indoors? Love your videos! I’ve learned a lot since I started gardening about 4 years ago!

[@GrowingInTheGarden]

I'd start cardinal climber now or you can direct sow next month.

[@moomoocho1196]

Where are your overalls from? Love the color 😊

[@conniepritchett6217]

Not sure about her particular pair but Duluth has great ones including short overalls.

[@GrowingInTheGarden]

Duluth. Thanks!

[@LividGiraffe17]

I like that color of overalls. Where are they from? Also the planting calendar looks super great

[@GrowingInTheGarden]

Thanks. They are from Duluth. Glad you like the calendar, here's a link: growinginthegarden.bigcartel.com/category/planting-guides

[@michellewelch6013]

Thanks to you, I’ve planted cucamelon and the beautiful vining Malabar spinach. Thank you! I’m starting fall garden veg such as broccoli, cabbage, celery, peas, a lettuce mix, and lots more flowers. I wish I could show you the beautiful raised bed I’ve planted following your suggestion to plant flowers and some vining plants to provide shade and protection to my summer veg peppers. It’s beautiful! Can you recommend a source for the illoi onions you grow?

[@GrowingInTheGarden]

They can be hard to find. Check local nurseries this fall or online at Native Seed Search.

[@joydavis4087]

Ty for the recommendation for Native Seed Search. I just searched for onions on their website because I didn’t spell it right 🤭 Just ordered 3 bundles of i’itol onions. Wish me luck. ❤

[@OnceUponATalita]

@@joydavis4087Me too!!! Im on zone 10 south south Southern California with 0.01 % rain 😂 and will be trying them for the first time.

[@HelenUnangst]

I have three types of broccoli, three types of cauliflower, dwarf tomatoes, salvia, snapdragons, petunias, and dianthus from seed, they are setting their second set of true leaves. Planning to plant beans, cukes, and melons just to see if I can get them to harvest before frost since we are having such a long drawn-out summer! Lettuce, spinach, carrots, turnips, beets, rutabagas and maybe kohlrabi once the night temps lower some more.

[@RoseFelton]

I started onion seeds last month and a few brussel sprouts indoors. Although I just came down with COVID, I planted Broccoli and Cabbage yesterday indoors. I'm hoping to feel well enough today to plant cauliflower indoors.

[@GrowingInTheGarden]

Hope you feel better soon!

[@RoseFelton]

@@GrowingInTheGarden Thank you!

[@brucevivers166]

I am direct seeding carrots and chitted potatoes. Brassicas and Legumes will do double duty as crop to eat and soil amendment. Monsoon tomatoes and peppers are already in and flowering. Spinach will be a companion for strawberries. This is my second year and I did not do a very good job keeping the Chandler plants alive and have sweet sensation plugs on order with early October delivery.

[@dddennis1214]

This is an awesome video!!! I live in Louisiana zone 9B. Would your planting calendar apply to me?

[@customer5032]

Phoenix is 9b & 10a so maybe, but I would go online and look for your county's Master Gardener planting calendar which is specifically created for the microclimate in your area.

[@GrowingInTheGarden]

It would be similar, but you would probably have more options. This blog post may help you fine one: growinginthegarden.com/when-to-plant-your-garden-how-to-find-a-planting-calendar-for-your-area/

[@solarminer7194]

Thank you

[@amberdow6524]

Where do you get your strawberries? And what type do you plant?

[@GrowingInTheGarden]

Check local nurseries. Varieties to try in the low desert of Arizona: Eversweet (continuous harvests of large, sweet strawberries throughout spring and fall); Chandler (early to mid-June bearing); Quinault; Sequoia ( June-bearing plant, commonly grown in Arizona); Tristar (heavy crop in early spring, slow production in hot summer weather, and large berries in the fall).

[@tressmith8842]

Appreciate you!!

[@SpringNotes]

Thank you !

[@lov3bubbles]

When should I start onions from seed?

[@GrowingInTheGarden]

You can start them anytime now.

[@EileenJOfficial]

Questions : My tomatillos never fruited , even with hand pollination, I do have 3 plants. What am I doing wrong? is it still too hot? 2nd question when can I plant rhubarb? do I start indoors? and when?

[@GrowingInTheGarden]

Could be the heat. If you're in low desert - rhubarb doesn't grow well here. We dont get cold enough and it's too hot for it to grow well.

[@claudiagutierrez1]

4 weeks ago I planted some cucamelon seeds indoor but I had to travel and my 6 plants died 😢 can I planted cucamelon and cucumbers seeds outside?

[@GrowingInTheGarden]

Cucumber for sure yes. Cucamelon seeds can be tricky to germinate. I'd try again and get them started indoors. You could also try planting them outside if you have extra seeds.

[@claudiagutierrez1]

@@GrowingInTheGarden thank you! I’m going to start indoor and outdoor, from my 6 plants looks like one is good! The other ones looks dump off( I don’t know if dump off is the correct word sorry my English is not my first language) or fell off but still looks green..

What kind of garlic will do good in Buckeye?

[@valerierivas6722]

Your rannuculus are so beautiful! Would you recommend avoiding planing these with a dog and small children at home?

[@GrowingInTheGarden]

If they would eat them, yes. I have kids and a dog, but they don't bother them so it hasn't been an issue.

[@joemartinez4802]

Don't you think it is still too hot for the seedlings you mentioned?

[@GrowingInTheGarden]

Keep an eye on those temps before planting the cool season crops. For the warm season crops its a good time to plant.

[@bakerudall]

What is your favorite local nursery for vegetable plants? I live in Mesa, and I didn't know you could find cucamelon transplants.

[@GrowingInTheGarden]

I get most of mine from Arizona Worm Farm.

[@Liz-bn8fw]

are your grow lights flourescent lights? Or what do you recommend?

[@GrowingInTheGarden]

I have fluorescent and LED's - I like both. You can see the fluorescent ones I use here: www.amazon.com/shop/growinginthegarden/list/1HLH9Y3232BX1?ref_=cm_sw_r_cp_ud_aipsflist_aipsfgrowinginthegarden_HPMRJTBTHF3CM7R0GPXH

[@lauraostler4540]

so glad you asked this question

[@lisaquedens8402]

I live in Mesa AZ…do you have a preference on wood or metal raised planters. Will the metal ones generate too much heat?

[@GrowingInTheGarden]

I've done both and last year I took some readings. The metal ones I use are treated and don't heat up any more than my wood ones. You can find them here shrsl.com/3yano Use code Angela10 to save $10 off $100 or GITG5 to save 5 percent on any size order

[@RichardMartin_Andromni]

Anyone know where I can find some Purple Viking potatoes? Everywhere I spy, sold out...

[@GrowingInTheGarden]

Sometimes Wood Prairie has them - San Diego Seed Company maybe?

[@TheKimberous]

Where do you get your seed potatoes? I’m in Tucson and can’t find them anywhere!

[@GrowingInTheGarden]

Wood Prairie may have some. Sometimes San Diego Seed Company has them in the fall.

[@Matice4]

If I don’t have the means to start seeds indoors, is it possible to do it outdoors in shade? It’s still in the 100s where I live. I’m in zone 9b

[@GrowingInTheGarden]

You could try. Depending on what you want to grow, you could also wait just a bit and direct sow in the beds instead of using transplants.

[@Liz-bn8fw]

I started broccoli and brussels inside so I could set out mid september. They all came up but the stems are like 4 inch threads and they all fall over and eventually wilt away. I set a fan to blow gently on them several times a day to help strengthen them but nothing has worked! What could I do differently?!

[@GrowingInTheGarden]

That means there wasn't enough light. You'll need to start over with a stronger light source closer to the seeds. You can learn more here: growinginthegarden.com/how-to-start-seeds-indoors-10-steps-for-success/

[@SmoreHearts]

Is it too late to plant sweet potatoes? 👀

[@GrowingInTheGarden]

Depends on where you live - here in the low desert, it's a good time to plant.

[@SmoreHearts]

@@GrowingInTheGarden Thank you. I'm in 8a

[@gardeningwithcandy]

What do you suggest for planting in zone 6

[@monicaduarte3678]

Hello! I’m 9b an I late for pumpkin?

[@GrowingInTheGarden]

Getting to the end - but it's still warm. You might try growing a smaller variety with a shorter days to harvest.
